2nd district Congressman Sanford Bishop (D - Albany) is benefiting from this boom as lobbyists seek to infuse cash into his campaign coffers.

Facing a tougher-than-expected race, Rep. Sanford D. Bishop Jr. is heading back to Washington, D.C., this month to raise campaign cash from lobbyists for his struggling re-election bid.

According to an invitation obtained by CQ Politics, lobbyists are hosting a $2,000-per-head fundraiser for the Georgia Congressman at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's headquarters on Oct. 27. The K Streeters throwing the event include Katreice Banks, an in-house lobbyist at AT&T; William Clyburn, an outside lobbyist for U.S. Telecom; and Prime Policy Group's Paul Weiss.
